American healthcare is mostly sickcare. We built something else.
Big Island WellCare is a physician-led primary care practice for people who want to understand their bodies, prevent chronic disease, and have a doctor who actually has time.

Your Doctor. Your Health Strategist.
Most healthcare systems focus on managing disease after it develops. Our model combines the best of Direct Primary Care, Functional Medicine, Integrative Medicine, Precision Medicine, and Preventive Medicine to help patients stay healthy, identify problems earlier, and optimize long-term well-being.
Big Island WellCare provides relationship-based primary care, physician access, urgent care guidance, prescription management, preventive care, hormone optimization, thyroid optimization, wellness support, and continuity of care.
Embody Medicine provides deeper investigation into the factors influencing health through advanced testing, genomics, microbiome analysis, environmental medicine, lifestyle medicine, and personalized health planning.
Together, these programs work in tandem to provide patients with a more comprehensive approach to health than either model alone.
Two different ideas about what medicine is for.
What most of us know
- — Rushed fifteen-minute visits.
- — Symptoms addressed after they appear.
- — Prescriptions without enough explanation.
- — Being told your labs are normal when you don't feel normal.
- — Care built around billing codes, not your body.
What we practice
- — Relationship and continuity with one physician.
- — Prevention, physiology, and real explanations.
- — Food, movement, sleep, hormones, metabolic health.
- — Nervous system regulation and breathwork as a daily health practice.
- — A community that practices health together.
Walk in the door at whatever pace feels right.

Physician-led care, built as a bridge.
Dr. Kristy King, MD is a board-certified Family Physician with seven years of experience in conventional primary care and advanced training in integrative, functional, regenerative, and lifestyle medicine. Big Island WellCare was created as a bridge between the medical system people already know and a more proactive model of health creation.
I left conventional primary care because I watched the system fail patients I cared about — patients who needed time, real explanations, and a doctor who understood that food, sleep, movement, and stress are not optional add-ons to medicine. They are medicine.
The bridge between ordinary primary care and advanced prevention.
Most people were taught a simple model: feel a symptom, see a doctor, get a medication. Sometimes that is exactly what is needed.
But much of long-term health is built before disease appears — through sleep, food, movement, stress physiology, metabolic health, hormones, environment, and community. Big Island WellCare keeps the useful parts of primary care and adds what the conventional system rarely has time to teach: how your body actually works.

Big Island WellCare is not anti-medication, anti-specialist, or anti-insurance. We use conventional medicine when it is needed and proactive care when it can prevent problems from becoming bigger ones.
Membership is not insurance. Please keep your insurance for emergencies, specialists, hospitalization, imaging, and prescriptions. Standard labs can often be billed to your insurance through Quest or Labcorp when appropriate.

Part of a Larger Vision
Big Island WellCare is the community practice of the Embody Medicine ecosystem — physician-led primary care on Hawaiʻi Island and the most accessible entry point into a larger vision for women's regenerative health, community health, and prevention.
While Big Island WellCare focuses on direct primary care, prevention, and continuity of care, Embody Medicine explores physician-led retreats, precision diagnostics, and new models of regenerative healthcare.
Both are led by Dr. Kristy King, MD.
